[QUOTE="Shangas, post: 10006922, member: 360"]Chinese sets are always 144 tiles. 152 means it was made specifically for NMJL American mahjong. The presence of the racks would make that obvious already, if the number of tiles did not. Chinese people don't use racks in mahjong - never have done, never will - this isn't Scrabble! Only Americans do that - no idea why. The posts on the tile racks are for holding your scoring tokens.[/QUOTE]
